VPN tunnel
Secure network conduit
A VPN tunnel is an encrypted connection between your device and a remote server, creating a secure pathway through the public internet.
Data traveling through the tunnel is shielded from outside observation—your internet provider, hackers on public Wi-Fi, or government surveillance can't see what's inside.
The company requires employees to connect through a VPN tunnel when working remotely.
